Thanks to everyone who has taken time to read my blog. I’ve been absent for several weeks, but I’m back (for now!) and will continue my mission of reviewing and promoting the work of women writers.

Here’s what’s ahead on maybesopoetry:

I currently have two book reviews in the works and hope to post them in the next few weeks:

• The Greenhouse, by Lisa Gluskin Stonestreet (Bull City Press, 2014)

• The Crafty Poet: A Portable Workshop, by Diane Lockward (Wind Publications, 2013)

These books make excellent holiday gifts. I highly recommend them both.

I also hope to publish one or two poems through The Homeless Poet Project (take a look at the guidelines and submit if you’re interested!), and if all goes well, I’ll also post another interview. This plan is perhaps overly ambitious, but I’ve missed working on my blog, so we’ll see how it goes over my holiday break.

I began my blog on July 12^th of this year. In this short time, I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing the work of some amazing women writers. I’d like to thank the following poets who have graced the virtual pages of maybesopoetry:

• Erica Goss, Vibrant Words: Ideas and Inspirations for Poets (PushPen Press, 2014)

• Jessica Goodfellow, Insomniac’s Weather Report (Isobar Press, 2014)

• Donora Hillard, The Aphasia Poems (Gold Wake Press, 2012)

• Samantha Duncan, One Never Eats Four (ELJ Publications, 2014)

• Julie Platt, In the Kingdom of My Familiar (Hyacinth Girl Press, 2014)

• Sarah Marcus, Backcountry (Finishing Line Press, 2013)

• Karen Skolfield, Frost in the Low Areas (Zone 3 Press, 2013)

Please consider purchasing one or more of these books for your personal library, or as gifts for family and friends.

I’d also like to acknowledge the following poets I featured in The Homeless Poem Project:

• Sheila Black

• Jean Voneman Mikhail

• Laura Davis (who also shared her Poetic Postcards)

Please stay tuned to maybesopoetry! There’s more to come!
